Alto Adige, primarily known for its white wines, also produces many fine reds. This example (from the house of Masi) is a Merlot-based blend. Appetite-whetting aromas of ripe plum, milk chocolate and coffee. Full bodied and round with bracing acidity, fine tannins and a lingering, flavourful finish. This will evolve nicely with 2-3 years in the cellar, but is perfectly pleasurable now. Source: Vintages Wine Catalogue.
